The support team led by Michelle arrived in time. After a few S-class mutant bugs were eliminated, the leaderless bug wave finally dissipated. The wounded and injured military females were being counted, while Via, the commander, was receiving treatment.
"Although we have found traces of the lost army, we still have not found any surviving military females. The situation is not optimistic, and now we can only confirm one thing." Looking at the entrance of the laboratory with brown eyes, Via said coldly, "Stop. This is not the laboratory where it will be located.”
Wea's words made the military females look even paler and uglier. The laboratory has done simple exploration and liquid collection. Although they are unable to determine what this terrifying and perverted laboratory that suddenly appeared on the planet Ghat is used for, they are still watching the raging tide of mutated bugs and the tragic deaths in the planet. The innocent bugs in the laboratory, the military females already had terrible suspicions in their hearts.
Lieutenant General Xio is not in this experiment, so there might be other laboratories? Not even just one or two places...
The cold and chilling emotions were transmitted among the military women. Via's emotionless eyes fell from the solemn-looking faces of the military women to the miserable and terrifying corpses on the ground.
"We cannot predict whether there will be a second wave of insect waves. The medium-sized insect wave has already caused heavy casualties to the team. I suggest giving up the exploration first and returning to the camp to preserve the existing troops." Via turned her attention to Gu, who is a military adviser. Convergence.
Judging from the current situation alone, the decision made by Via is undoubtedly the right one. But Gu Lian was keenly aware of whether it was the surprise attack of the mutated insect swarm, the sudden loss of contact between Xiu and Nolin's troops, or the decision-making of the military female in front of him. Vaguely, it seems that there is an indistinguishable force that is preventing the insects from exploring the truth about the laboratory and the mutated insects.
Gu Lian looked over indifferently, his eyes lingering on the shoulder blades of the military female that were covered by bandages for a moment, and then he said, "The army retreated to the camp, leaving two bugs to follow me."
The two insects looked at each other, and their brown eyes became cold for a moment.
Just as Wea was about to speak, the communicator kept ringing. It's not his, nor Gu Lian's. Both eyes fell on Michelle. Michelle narrowed her eyes, and while receiving the communication, she said with a rousing smile, "It's been ringing non-stop since I was killing the mutated bugs. Which bug has trouble coming here?" Me. Ha, Lieutenant General Via, Your Excellency Gu Lian, please ignore me.
Continue your friendly discussions..."
As Michelle spoke, the smile on her lips suddenly froze. My heart trembled involuntarily, and my smile completely disappeared. He frowned, looked at Gu Lian suddenly and said in a deep voice, "The military female has come to report that your little insect cub has left the camp. It hasn't been caught up yet..."
Gu Lian's face turned dark instantly, and his dark eyes stared at Michelle. A cold aura enveloped Michelle, and a chill ran down her back. He was undoubtedly seeking death when he bumped into Gu Lian head-on, and it was indeed caused by his unfavorable handling.
Michelle lowered her eyes, wanting to say something to apologize. But Gu Lian didn't give him a chance, and immediately said with gloomy eyes, "First implement Lieutenant General Via's plan."
After saying that, he left the insects behind and quickly rushed to the camp.
Michelle frowned, feeling a little guilty that Gu Lian's insect cub had gone missing. The moment he raised his eyes and glanced at Via, he unexpectedly found the corner of the other person's lips raised in a very small arc.
Is that...laughing?
"Lieutenant General Via, I will lead a small team back to the camp first." Michelle stared at Via and said gloomily.
The curve of the corners of her lips had disappeared, and Via didn't seem to care. He took off the military coat covering his body and nodded distantly. Michelle settled her thoughts and stopped lingering. She led the team and immediately caught up with Gu Lian.
Gu Lian rushed back to the camp, and Michelle arrived on the back.
The atmosphere in the camp was gloomy, and the military females did not dare to raise their eyes to look at the cold-faced male insect. Especially the responsible insect who was assigned by Michelle to guard the insect cubs, looked at the approaching Gu Lian and swallowed in fear with his Adam's apple.
The expected attack did not come, and the male just stared at him coldly. He asked in a deep voice, "Did it sneak out on its own, or what happened?"
It is more likely that the bug cub will slip out on its own. That bug cub is not as honest and easy to bully as its female father. It is not afraid of anything, even ordinary military females cannot stop it.
Not being punished, the responsible insect was slightly relieved. But he still said nervously, "Your little insect cub did fly away on its own, but are you not sure if it was because it was frightened?"
Frightened?
Gu Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and heard the person in charge say again, "Because of the misinformation about the mutated bugs invading the camp, the camp was in chaos. The little bug cubs flew out in the chaos."
The insect in charge looked at Michelle and couldn't help but say, "Chief of Staff Pierce has been wandering outside your camp, trying to break in. But I was ordered by Lieutenant General Michel not to let any insects in.
So I'm not sure whether Chief of Staff Pierce took advantage of the chaos to get in. "
The hint in the words of the responsible insect is obvious.
The military females have long been dissatisfied with Pierce, and no one would believe in Pierce's character.
Gu Lian asked coldly, "Where's Pierce?"
A military female replied sarcastically, "Chief of Staff Pierce...is missing."
"Missing?" Maybe he was afraid that Gu Lian would come back and kill him.
Michelle's face was solemn, and she could almost imagine the disgusting bug escaping triumphantly. He ordered fiercely, "Send the insect to capture Pierce!"
Gu Lian didn't say anything, but the moment Pierce's name came out of the mouth of the responsible person, his black eyes were gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes was terrifying.
Pierce didn't live long.
The top priority is the missing insect cubs. Gu Lian asked gloomily, "In which direction did the insect cub fly?"
The responsible insect replied, "To the west."
This time, not only Gu Lian but also Michelle's brows jumped fiercely.
The western part of the Ghat planet is the direction that the exploration team is exploring, and it is also the range of mutant bug activities and raids. If the little insect cub instinctively uses its antennae to detect signals from its male father, it will definitely take the same route as them.
Even if it is a cub of an SS-level male worm, it is still such a small cub after all. Once it encounters the mutated bugs that have retreated...
Michelle felt bad. Looking at Gu Lian's cold eyes that could not detect the temperature, he couldn't help but said, "The team did not encounter the little insect cub, which probably means that it does not fly fast and the enclave is not far away." Around the camp.”
The military females did not speak, because Michelle's words were too difficult to withstand scrutiny. If the insect cubs don't fly very fast or far, then the adult military female won't be unable to catch up. But the worm cubs were already halfway there, but the returning team didn't meet them.
Does this mean that the little bug cub has encountered the mutated bug...
Michelle didn't dare to think about it and gritted her teeth and ordered, "Send a team of military females to follow me west to search for the whereabouts of the insect cubs!"
"Follow my command and follow."
After Gu Lian calmly gave the order, he turned around and walked out of the camp.
Michelle was surprised by Gu Lian's ability to calm down quickly. Seeing the other person's neat and upright posture without any sloppiness, she couldn't help but raise her feet and follow him.
Michelle chased after him and suddenly remembered Via's smile. Overthinking, he whispered to Gu Lian with a gloomy face, "Your Excellency Gu Lian, where is Via?"
"The insect didn't know where it came from, and it got close to Pierce. The little insect cub was lost, is it also
It's not certain that it has anything to do with him, and now the command is entirely in his hands? "
If Via interferes in the exploration process, all the insects will be in danger.
Gu Lian pulled his lips, tilted his head towards Michelle and said coldly, "Isn't this a chance to give him a chance to show his loyalty to the Zerg?"
Seeing Gu Lian's indifferent attitude, which was not forced by the situation, Michelle was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Gu Lian had already seen through it. Via may have thought that she was a smart mantis, but the male in front of her was an oriole watching the mantis' stupid play.
"Spread out the search." Gu Lian looked at the wilderness to the west, his eyes dark.
That bug and his cubs were not as weak as these military females imagined.
*
"Sir, that cub is a monster. It can actually use spiritual tentacles. Which female insect do you think can externalize spiritual tentacles?" Pierce, who was running away, looked at the projection on the communication and cried out, "That little bitch, with a flick I can’t get close to my spiritual tentacles... You can’t blame me for the failure of this mission!”
"In order to complete the mission you ordered, I am now being chased by Gu Lian and the group of military females. Fortunately, I was smart and took the opportunity to run north, otherwise there would be no insects to serve you." Pierce sobbed.
"Pierce, you have done so many things for me, and there is no credit but hard work. Even if a mission fails, I will not blame you." A gentle and leisurely tone came from the projection.
Pierce's heart moved and he stared at the projection.
I saw the insect in the projection sitting leisurely on the chair, crossing his legs elegantly. One hand holds the saucer, and the other hand holds the cup to his mouth. The tea cup covered the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of gentle, lake-like green eyes illuminated by sunlight.
This Lord always seemed very easy to talk to, and Pierce couldn't help but discuss it, "Sir, please send bugs to take me back to the main star. I will come back and continue to work for you. As for the bugs on the Gart Star, especially Gu Lian This kind of low-blooded worm will die on the planet Ghat sooner or later."
Pierce was talking to himself, not paying any attention to the coldness in the eyes of the adult he was pleading for because of his words.
"Piers, don't worry." The adult put down the tea cup gently, clasped his fingers on his lower abdomen, and said with a smile, "Continue to follow the instructions and go north. I have already ordered Zhong to pick you up."
Pierce was overjoyed, grateful, and quickly turned off the communication and headed north.
"Hey." Suddenly childishly
A sound.
Pierce turned his head sharply and found nothing. He couldn't help but shudder, feeling that he was poisoned by the mental tentacles of that little bitch and that was why he hallucinated the little cub's voice.
The little kid was flying west and should have been eaten by mutant bugs long ago. How could it be behind him?
Pierce shook off his unrealistic thoughts and continued running north eagerly. He followed the landmarks and arrived at the place the adult mentioned. It was an abandoned base, and a bug could be vaguely seen standing there.
Pierce walked in and saw it was a male insect with green eyes.
When he saw his face, he was shocked, "Why are you here?"
The male insect smiled, "Mr. Pierce, of course I'm here to pick you up."
"I don't care who you are, please send me back to the main star!" Pierce said.
"Don't be impatient, Lord Pierce." The male worm approached him with a smile.
"You told me not to be in a hurry, I was..." Before Pierce could finish speaking, a terrifying mental tentacle suddenly penetrated his brain.
Blood splattered everywhere.
"It's really hard work, dirty Zerg." The gentle smile gradually sneered, and the male worm looked down at Pierce who fell to the ground.
Until the last second before falling to the ground, Pierce's eyes were still wide open in disbelief, and endless fear completely annihilated him.
"Hey." Another voice.
The keen male insect heard the sound and ran away, and a small head popped up next to the ruins.
The veins in the dark green eyes were surging. The male insect stared at the little insect and smiled, "That guy Pierce is still useful."
